A new and efficient formulation of the Discrete-Continuous Model (DCM) for the simulation of
3D dislocation dynamics in complex finite or periodic volumes is presented. As in previous …

ABSTRACT A three dimensional (3D) mesoscopic model to simulate the collective dynamic
behavior of a large number of curved dislocations of finite lengths has been developed. The …

A unified model coupling 3D dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations with the finite element
(FE) method is revisited. The so-called Discrete-Continuous Model (DCM) aims to predict …

Two-dimensional dislocation dynamics (2D-DD) simulations under fully periodic boundary
conditions are employed to study the relation between microstructure and strength of a …

Abstract The Continuum Dislocation Dynamics (CDD) theory and the Discrete Dislocation
Dynamics (DDD) method are compared based on concise mathematical formulations of the …

Dislocation dynamics (DD) is a modeling approach for the study of crystal plasticity wherein
individual dislocation lines are discretized and their motion in the crystal is simulated. This …

Metal plasticity is governed by the motion of dislocations, and predicting the interactions and
resulting collective motion of dislocations is a major task in understanding and modeling …

Continuum dislocation dynamics methods have received considerable interests for
simulating dislocation microstructures at the meso-scale, serving as potential tools for …

To develop a continuum theory based on the evolution of dislocation microstructures, two
challenges have to be resolved: the correct representation of the kinematics of dislocation …

Although the multi-scale discrete-continuous model (DCM) which couples discrete
dislocation dynamics (DDD) and finite element method (FEM) to study crystal plasticity at …
